View Full Version : People who say weird shit

I don't mean like off the wall, Mel Gibson statements. I mean people who just have weird pronunciations. Like I had a friend in high school who spoke perfectly normally, but for some unknown reason he would say "diMfferent" with an m instead of "different" like a normal person. And another kid I knew would say "Nused" as in "I nused to play soccer, but now I play football instead." But only in that particular phrase. Like if he was talking about used cars, for example, he would say "used cars". Fucking weirdos.

Even that's like a regional dialect thing. I know plenty of people who soder and ideer. This is just random stupidity, like even the poeple in these guys' families spoke normally.

I've run into many people who, though they can pronounce the word "day" fine, completely fuck up the days of the week and say "Mondee", "Tuesdee". "Wednesdee" etc.

A good friend of mine simply cannot pronounce "breakfast."  He's an intelligent, college-educated, grown man, yet try as he might it always comes out "brefixt."  For a real good laugh ask him to say "Massachusetts."

Which drove me up the wall.

I used to work with someone who said "conversate." I didn't think much of it since English isn't her first language. But then I heard other people say it. It's CONVERSE!

The most common one that drives me nuts is "expresso" - worse yet to see
it in print!

My boyfriend always says "karakoke" instead of "karaoke" and it's all I can
do to hold my tongue and not correct him. I'm sure he knows he's not
saying it correctly; the wrong pronounciation is just so ingrained that he
can't help himself. Arrrrrggggggggghhhhh!

I work at a govt. teleservice center and the guy who sits next to me has said "darious," meaning daring; "relevate" meaning relate, "recipricants" for recipients, "Specific Ocean" for Pacific Ocean, "Pepsicola, Florida" for Pensacola, and almost any word ending in a "t" becomes a "k" ie. perfeck, Wal-Mark.

said across she added a T to the end...Last time I looked in the
dictionary I didn't see a T there!

He now lives in Northern VA, near the University of Mary Worshington . . . and works in Worshington DC.  Nails. Chalkboard. Cringing.  Make it stop.

People from New York and Long Island say "sore" when they're trying to pronounce "saw".Sounds crazy right??  I'm actually from NYC and, when I moved to Canada, quite a few people pointed it out to me. They make fun of New Yorkers for saying "sore" they way we make fun of them for saying "aboot". I was listening to Loveline recently and a guy from the Dave Matthews Band was on.  He said "sore" instead of "saw" and Dr. Drew immediately interrupted him and said "Hey...you're from NYC...I didn't know that".  And the guy said "yeah, that's the only part of my NY accent that I retained...I still say 'sore' instead of 'saw'".My ex-wife is a professional broadcaster.  She recently went to a seminar about speaking with non-regional diction and the instructor said "and for all you New Yorkers out there...please don't put an 'R' on the end of the word 'saw'".  I couldn't believe it.  New Yawkas actually ADD an "R" sound where it doesn't belong.
